Are you talking about when viewing the files outside of ProTools? I believe file extensions have always been part of these audio files; .aif or .wav for example, but on a Mac you have the option to not see them...

I think OS9 and before Windows compatibility Pro Tools didn’t add the suffixes. Type and creator were stored in the resource fork.

Hi TJ.
Yes, that sounds about right.
Like way back, PT 5 maybe.
We have some aif sessions that have gone into s NAS which is seeing the aif files as Unix Executable & thus the sessions when opened won’t link the audio.
Gonna have to add the suffixes I think.
